Darelle and Sally's Swimming Adventures: Brighton-le-Sands 3 Feb 2017

An overcast but warm afternoon for our second foray to Botany Bay. The beach is known as Lady Robinson's Beach. Originally the beach was known as Seven Mile Beach. The beach was renamed after the wife of the then Governor, Sir Hercules Robinson (4 March 1872 – 24 February 1879)

Yes, we went in, but my waterproof camera is broken. The water was lovely - warm, clear and felt "soft".

Pony tails were the theme for the day.

Can always look out over the port and watch planes take off and arrive at Sydney airport

Once upon a time, when we were kids, Brighton Baths had an elevated boardwalk all around it. I remember in the late 1960s/early 70s being brave and sliding down the slippery dips into the sea.
